So I’m a vegan, or as I prefer to call it, a whole food plant-based person. My reasons are mostly dietary, partly esthetic (from my years of living in places where meat = cow + axe + some disassembly required) and zero political.
If some kindly village person invited me to eat with them and the stew contained a few pieces of meat-like substance, I would eat it while eschewing any knowledge whatsoever about its parentage, because no way. I would eat it because I knew I was being honored with the best they had and I would be grateful for their most generous hospitality. I would never offend someone’s lovingly offered hospitality.
It’s not what goes in one’s mouth that condemns a person, it’s what comes out, says an old book.
But I’ve noticed that a few people in vegandom have been ardent, vocal advocates, sometimes bordering on obnoxious, and it seems that most people think what they eat is their business and their business alone. I agree, so leave me alone when I’m chowing do on some nice fresh bark or cattails (wild corndogs).
Which brings me to the point of this post. I love vegan memes. I collect vegan memes and am always on the lookout for new ones. Here’s a few of my favorites:
I’ll stop there. I’m so, so sorry.
I see a bumper sticker from time to time that really makes me question my vegan choices:
“If God didn’t intend for us to eat animals, why did He make them out of meat?”
I added two more memes at the end that I missed the first time around. The last one is my all time favorite.
